More Stories About the Great Depression (History is Alive For Kids Book 3)

By Jim Sapiro

Since man developed various means to influence and control the economy, countries realized that dominance is not just attainable through conquest and military powers, but also through economics. Trade activities from the 15th century evolved from exchanging physical goods and products to trading intangible assets such as stocks and bonds. Stock Markets around the world were later established to help and sustain economic growth. Since then, a country's Stock Market has played an instrumental role in nation-building through financial means. A fall in the exchange would result in a domino effect that can be felt in various sectors and produce adverse consequences such as unemployment and inflation. Throughout history, the economy's soft power has proven time and again that it rivals the hard power of military weapons. If a country's economy falls, all citizens would have to pay its price, and everyone would experience the consequences, whether they like it or not.
